NCERT textbooks are the prescribed books for CBSE, and board questions are built on them. Finish every NCERT example and exercise first, then practise sample papers and previous year papers.

With focused preparation, 30–45 days if you have already studied the syllabus once. Give Business Studies 2–3 hours a day, and in the last week focus only on revision and past papers. Starting earlier is always better.

Certain question types come up regularly — definitions, explain-and-differentiate questions, and case- or source-based questions (plus map or diagram questions where your syllabus has them). Solving the last few years' papers and the latest sample or specimen paper shows you these patterns.
